when I had to customize my junk PP 69 wing I went with studs as well. The only fix I had on the fitment was to cut at least an inch off the pedestal height to bring the wing down to contact the quarters. Of course that removed the entire bottom structure where the bolts were supposed to attach. To solve that I filled both of the hollow pedestals with fiberglass resin, then shaved them down and then I tapped in holes for the studs with plenty of contact surface for running the stud up into the pedestals. royal pain doing that, those things got nuclear hot while that resin cured. I'd probably do it in stages if I was to repeat the process.
